The mysterious man I forbade to mention his name sent me back to the castle. As usual, he only dropped off after we arrived at the border of the forest. The man whispered something to remind me of my one month promise.
I went back towards the castle without turning back again. Even though I had walked quite far away, I could still feel a pair of eyes that had never left my back.
After I arrived at the castle, I was faced with a similar situation again. I saw the maid who replaced me at Mirai's house was being punished in front of the others. When they saw me, it became silent.
One thing I had never thought I would get from my father, a hard slap hit my cheek, causing me to fall to the floor. My father growled furiously. I was far more frightened to see my father than the wolf.
I knew I had made a mistake for leaving Mirai's house at a critical time like this. My heart was hurt when my father said that he was disappointed in me.
